Chapter 685 Major Breakthrough
It was only at this time that Xia Wen noticed that Lin Rong was actually wearing a casual suit instead of a swimsuit, wrapping herself up tightly.
"Xiao Rong, don't you go swimming?" Xia Wen asked strangely, but he remembered that Xia Wu mentioned to himself more than once that Lin Rong's water quality is good, even he who likes to soak in the water, Not as good.When most people come to Australia and see such a clear and clean beach, they will want to jump into the water a few times.Those who don't know how to swim will also take off their shoes and walk in the sea water, enjoying the feeling of the sea water rushing to their feet.A person like Lin Rong doesn't even have the intention of going into the water for a walk!Besides, today's weather is fine. Although the water temperature may not be as suitable as in summer, it is enough!
"Well, I'm not feeling well today, so I didn't plan to go into the water!" Naturally, Lin Rong was embarrassed to say that the bruises on her body were still intact, and it was not easy to go into the water, so she replied casually.Naturally, Xia Wen didn't want to ask too many questions. As a married man, he naturally understood that, women, there are always some uncomfortable days in a month!
Xia Wen casually piled sand with Lin Rong, and asked casually: "Xiao Rong, how is the authorization of mp3 players and USB disks going in Hong Kong? I heard that there is already a company Have you reached an agreement with us?"
Lin Rong couldn't help laughing. Xia Wen's news was not wrong, but the first one to reach an agreement with Fang's family was South Korea's Samsung Group. Now that it is controlled by Fang Mingyuan, this agreement is just a formality. !It's just to create some tension for the other companies!
In fact, Fang Mingyuan's thinking was not wrong at all. Today's managers of Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, Apple, Diamond and other companies are indeed in a state of tension and headaches.The reason is actually very simple. Samsung Group is not a small company that no one knows in the world's electronics industry. It is a large group company with total assets of more than [-] billion US dollars, strong technology research and development capabilities and amazing productivity.Especially after it has received strong capital injection from overseas, even in the financial crisis, it still expands its production capacity against the market. After obtaining technology authorization, it will develop a large-scale marketable product in a short period of time. finished product.And quickly occupy the global market that has been teased up now!
They all have to admit that Fang's promotion of these two products is indeed very good.First, the sky-high price auction at the charity auction attracted the attention of countless people, and then at the birthday banquet of Miao Zhenghong's daughter, two electronic products carefully inlaid with diamond jewelry by the master craftsman of Chow Tai Fook Jewelery & Gold Co., Ltd. It can be called a handicraft!This naturally brightened the eyes of the Hong Kong celebrities who attended the banquet.Hong Kong is not only a world-renowned financial center, but also a fashion kingdom, a few days later.Many fashion media have invariably given them important pages!
This undoubtedly makes the fashion-loving young people in the world have a strong curiosity about these two products!
And then, the powerful strength of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Corporation in the world film industry was revealed.A group of the world's top directors and actors who have worked with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group are well known for listening to mp3 with earphones when they attend various international public occasions.Including Cameron, Spielberg, Schwarzenegger, Leonardo and so on!
It tickled the hearts of movie lovers all over the world... itchy!They all want to know why their idols fall in love with an electronic product that hasn't been officially launched yet.
And in early October, Microsoft made another public announcement.Microsoft's Windows system and various office software support the use of USB flash drives, and Microsoft will further develop system patches to better utilize the performance of USB flash drives.This public information.Undoubtedly, it pushed the USB flash drive technology to the top of the wave again. For a while, countless companies all over the world were paying attention to these two technologies.Those who want to get a share of it can't wait to rush to Hong Kong to join the negotiation camp!
Under such a general environment, these companies can naturally imagine that once the Samsung Group understands these two technologies and produces finished products, I am afraid that the market for these two products will be divided by it and the Fang family. !And this kind of electronic product, once leading, others want to catch up again.The price to be paid is much greater than that of the leader!
Although the Fang family's electronic product production capacity is there, they are not taken seriously by them. After all, in their view, compared with the Samsung Electronics Group, the Fang family's electronics industry can only be said to be small.Not to mention that it is a dwarf, it is already giving the Fang family a lot of face!The Fang family can take control of China's domestic market, and they should be thankful.
However, the production capacity of Samsung Group makes these companies feel afraid.So, how can we reach a satisfactory result with Fang Bin as soon as possible.In order to get the authorization as soon as possible, not to lag behind the Samsung Group as much as possible, or even to launch their own products before the Samsung Group, so as to get a share of this emerging market, these companies' managements have recently been an important task.So there was an endless stream of negotiators from various companies going to Hong Kong!
However, it is not so easy to obtain the authorization of the Fang family.Thanks to the Samsung Group, which was the first to eat crabs, technology licensing has been lifted to a level that has caused headaches for other companies-Samsung Group has agreed to transfer two six-inch wafer production lines and 0.18 micron process technology licenses to Fang's family!The rewards are the authorization of these two technologies and an unknown amount of cash reward!
"What the hell is Li Jianxi thinking? Could it be that he is short of money because he is short of money?" Many people made surprised voices.After all, the Samsung Group has just received a large amount of capital injection, and the bank has also raised its loan limit. It stands to reason that the funds on hand should be relatively abundant!Is it worthy of exchanging the wafer production line and 0.18 micron process with Fangjia?
Moreover, the wafer production technology and 0.18 micron process technology can be said to have been coveted by the Chinese business community for a long time, but because the Americans have not let go, the Chinese government has not been able to import them from the international market.Although the [-]-inch wafer production line is already a technology that is close to being eliminated under the current situation that [-]-inch wafer factories are common in the world and a small number of [-]-inch wafer factories are in the world, it is also a wafer factory!Can the Americans agree?
But what happened next made these people suddenly realize that Samsung Group issued an announcement that Samsung Group will start construction at the end of 0.13, intending to build a new [-]-inch wafer factory, and filed an application with Texas Instruments Technology authorization of [-] micron process.These two items are obviously big money eaters!
As for Samsung Group's public decision to transfer wafer production lines and 0.18 micron process technology to Fangjia.The Americans kept silent until more than half a month later.This also made many people in the world break their glasses!And it made Huaxia Zhengfu ecstatic!
Of course, none of these news was brought to the table, but circulated among people in the circle.
"The Americans really didn't say anything to stop it?" Xia Wen was surprised. During these years in Australia, Xia Wen was deeply impressed by the Americans' technological blockade of China.In order to curb the rise of China, the Americans unite with all developed countries to set up obstacles for China in many technology introduction projects.And once China has made a breakthrough in a certain technology, the Americans will immediately let go of the technology.Not only does it encourage foreign companies that enjoy this technology to invest in Huaxia, but it also actively promotes the authorization and transfer of Huaxia enterprises, so as to combat domestic research and development forces!
The astonishing trade deficit between China and the United States is largely caused by this-Americans do not sell the technology and equipment that Chinese people want; while the technology and equipment sold by Americans are what China already has. an alternative option.This has been going on for a long time, and it has naturally become the current situation!
Therefore, when Xia Wen learned that the Americans did not respond to Samsung Group's decision to transfer the six-inch star-round factory and 0.18-micron process technology to Fang's family.Only then will there be such a reaction.
"Actually, it's not that there's no reaction at all, it's just that there is no climate!" Lin Rong smiled sweetly.The main reason is that Fang Mingyuan seized the opportunity better, and now the global economy has fallen into contraction.The United States itself is no exception, and is also facing many problems such as rising unemployment and economic stagnation.And at this time, people will naturally bring up the old topic of strengthening the US's export capabilities!At this time, Samsung Group proposed to build another [-]-inch fab, which naturally attracted the attention of relevant American companies!
"The proposal of a [-]-inch fab can make Americans pay so much attention to it?" Xia Wen said somewhat incomprehensibly.Yes, to build a cutting-edge [-]-inch wafer fab, the funds needed are absolutely amazing!But that is for an enterprise, if it is placed in an industry.In a country, it is nothing!
"Of course!" Lin Rong straightened her hair that was a little messy from the sea breeze, "Brother Wen, do you know an old saying? One hair moves the whole body!" One hair moves the whole body?Of course Xia Wen knows this, and it is often used as a metaphor that a very small part will affect the overall situation.But what did Lin Rong mean by this?
Lin Rong looked at Fang Mingyuan who was lying on the beach chair with a book not far away.His eyes are full of admiration. "Brother Wen, the Samsung Group is not only a Korean conglomerate, but also has strong competitiveness in the international arena. It has many competitors, including the Japanese company and European and American companies! The global economy is indeed stagnant now. Even in the unfavorable situation of decline, many companies are busy shrinking their business and withdrawing funds to ensure that they can survive this economic winter that does not know when it will end. But! There are also many companies that will choose to stay dormant during this period , and at the same time expand their productivity, improve their technical capabilities, and prepare for re-competition for market share when the economy recovers!"
Xia Wenna is also an elite person with a doctorate title, and Lin Rong immediately understood what Lin Rong meant with just a few hints!
Yes, the Samsung Group is only planning to build a [-]-inch wafer fab. No matter how large the investment in this fab is, it is really nothing to Americans!However, this action of Samsung Group will affect its other international competitors, forcing them to also consider building new fabs to expand production capacity and improve technology to meet the challenges of Samsung Group!In international trade, economic wars between competitors may not kill countless people like real wars, but they can also destroy the careers of countless people!Even a world-renowned company like Sony Corporation would never dare to take it lightly!
Americans are not tempted by one factory, and Americans are not tempted by two factories. How about five factories?What about eight seats?What about ten seats?Can Americans still not be tempted?And once the Americans are tempted, there will naturally be someone who can persuade the US government not to block the transaction between the Samsung Group and the Fang family!
It is very difficult for the Chinese to convince the American government!But it is not a problem for Americans to persuade the US government, especially Americans who still represent the interests of one or several industries.The U.S. government must also consider how such a large order will affect the current employment situation in the United States!If it is said that the "legitimate" demands of these industries are rejected, will it cause any major troubles!Americans have the right to march and demonstrate. Even in front of the White House, you can see all kinds of demonstrators all year round!And American public opinion has an influence that cannot be underestimated on the government's decision-making!
Of course, there is another very important item here. The six-inch fab is indeed on the verge of being eliminated!In today's world, the main force of all major wafer companies is 0.18-inch wafer fabs, and some are [-]-inch wafer fabs.However, the [-] micron process technology is relatively advanced.
Between the expectation of huge profits and the possibility of large-scale demonstrations, it seems that the U.S. government is still choosing huge profits!It's just that the US government is too embarrassed to publicly slap itself in the face, so it's just a matter of silence!
"That would be great!" Xia Wen couldn't help but punched each other hard!With a fab, even if it is only a six-inch fab, the domestic development of semiconductor technology will undoubtedly mean that a chain has been loosened and a greater development prospect will be achieved!Moreover, once this gap is opened, it will not be so easy for the Americans to close it again!
As long as the timing is right, eight-inch fab!Twelve-inch fab!All will be established in the country!As a Chinese, how could he not be overjoyed?
"Oh!" Lin Rong screamed and jumped up, and said angrily, "Brother Wen, your hands are full of sand!" (To be continued. Welcome to La Niu Niu (la66.) Your support is my greatest motivation.)
